Mechanical Advantage


Is it good to have a high mechanical advantage?

It may be good in some cases. A high mechanical advantage comes at a cost - you need to apply less force, but you need to apply it over a greater distance.


What is a mechanic advantage?

A machine's mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine multiplies the amount of work force you apply.


What is the effort of a lever?

Normally the force you apply. Load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.


How much force will the operator have to apply if the mechanical advantage of the pulley system is 4?

1/4 the output force.


15 What is the purpose of using a tool with a mechanical advantage less than one?

The purpose is to apply the force over a smaller distance.


The mechanical advantage is a number that tells you how many times a machine multiplies the effort used?

A machine's mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine multiplies the amount of work force you apply.


What are examples of advantage?

A very practical example of mechanical advantage is the use of a "cheater bar." If you find a bolt that is hard to break, simply slip a long pipe or similar object over the handle and it will apply much more torque.


If you have to apply 40 N of force on a crowbar to lift a rock that weights 400 N what is the actual mechanical advantage of the crowbar?

It would have a mechanical advantage of 20, thus dividing the resistance force of 600N by the effort force of 30N.


A pulley system is used to lift a 2000 newton engine up a distance of 3 meters How much force will the operator have to apply if the mechanical advantage of the pulley system is 4?

A pulley system is used to lift a 2,000 newton engine up a distance of 3 meters. How much force will the operator have to apply if the mechanical advantage of the pulley system is 4? mechanical advantage = 500 newtons.


What kind of pulley changes the direction of input force but does not change amount of force you apply?

A single pulley alters the direction of the input but confers no mechanical advantage.
